Initiated by a $25 million gift to the
College of Engineeringby Dr. Samuel L. Ginn, the Departments of Electrical
and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science and Software Engineering
(CSSE) have developed, and have obtained approval for, a new undergraduate
program leading to the Bachelor of Wireless Engineering degree. There are two
tracks in this program, one concentrating on the design of hardware and the
other on the design of software for wireless devices and networks. This new
program is one of the first of its kind in the United States. The official
starting date for this program is the Fall Semester of 2002.
Vision:
Develop the Auburn wireless program to be a signature brand
in education and research that stands out nationally and
internationally.
Mission: Educate tomorrow's engineers who enable world-wide
communications by exploiting the power and convenience of
the wireless medium through discovery and innovation
